Bluff Springs, Alabama

May 1, 2026

We are thankful to share a blessing from our Alabama SOS Team! Carl Norton recently set up SOS Events at Bluff Springs Baptist Church in Ashford, Alabama—the very church he grew up attending. What a joy to see God open the door for ministry in such a personal and meaningful place.

During the event, there was one salvation and one other spiritual decision.

One young girl trusted Christ as her Savior, and Carl was able to speak with her and go through the plan of salvation. Because she is only seven years old, he wisely encouraged her mother—who is already a believer—to continue talking with her and helping her grow in her understanding of what it means to follow Christ.

Another young lady also made a decision for Christ. When Carl asked her mother if they had a church home, she shared that they had just recently started attending Bluff Springs Baptist Church. Carl then made sure to speak with the pastor, who said he would follow up with the family and talk with her about taking the next step in baptism.

We rejoice over these precious decisions and thank the Lord for the faithful follow-up of both family and church. Please continue to pray for these two young lives—that they will grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.” — Luke 15:10 KJV

The Joy Of Witnessing!

April 30, 2026

Once again God is blessing the weekly Plant City, Florida Flea Market with manybpeople trusting Jesus as their Savior at the SOS Events booth.

Thank you faithful volunteers! 

What a joy to be the person who witnesses to someone and that person decides to accept the Lord and leaves knowing they will spend eternity with Jesus.

If you are shy about witnessing, SOS Events has the answer. The “3 Things God Can Not Do” is an effective, non confrontational way to present the Gospel.

Let us help you have the joy of leading someone to the Lord

God’s Unconditional Love!

April 29, 2026

Don’t let your past determine your future. Look to God for the truth. Don’t let the past steal you from the joys of today. The Lord has so much for you.

I pray you will take time to read His Word daily and talk to Him through prayer then watch how he will guide you. He wants to walk with you every minute of the day, you are so important to Him. Ask Him to open your eyes to the truth of His unconditional love for you. See yourself through His eyes.

Jeremiah 33:3 (KJV) says, Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

True Living Through Jesus Christ!

April 28, 2026

Sunday, A New Day. A New Week.

April 26, 2026

Sundays have a way of slowing us down and reminding us where our strength truly comes from. Before the week begins again, the Lord gives us this day to rest, reflect, and remember that we do not walk alone.

No matter what last week held—joys, burdens, victories, or disappointments—God is still faithful. His mercy is still new. His promises are still true. And His strength is still enough.

Today is a gift. A day to lift your eyes, quiet your heart, and worship the One who has carried you every step of the way. Let this Sunday be a gentle reminder that God is not only with you today—He is already waiting in every tomorrow.

Walk into this new week with peace in your heart and praise on your lips. The same God who kept you yesterday will lead you tomorrow.

Salvation Is Just The Beginning!

April 25, 2026

“While we are saved in an instant, it takes a lifetime to develop and work out what God is doing inside of us.”

Salvation is one of the greatest miracles we will ever experience. In a single moment, when we trust Christ, everything changes—our sins are forgiven, our eternity is secured, and we become children of God.

But that moment is just the beginning.

From that day forward, God begins a work inside of us. Sometimes it is gentle, like a seed quietly growing beneath the soil. Other times it is shaping and stretching, like a potter forming clay. There are seasons of joy and seasons of challenge, but all of it is part of His perfect plan.

We may not always understand what He is doing, but we can trust that He is working—patiently, faithfully, and lovingly—day by day.

So don’t be discouraged if you’re still growing. That’s exactly where God wants you to be.

Homesick For Heaven!

April 24, 2026

Have you ever been homesick?

Not just for a place—but for a feeling… a peace… a belonging that nothing here quite satisfies?

There are moments in life when this world feels heavy, uncertain, and temporary. As believers, that quiet longing in our hearts is a reminder—we were not made to stay here forever. This world is not our final home.

God has placed within us a desire for something more—something eternal. A place where there is no sorrow, no pain, and where we will be forever with Him. That longing is not something to ignore—it’s something to embrace. It points us toward Heaven.

When we feel “homesick,” it can draw us closer to the Lord. It reminds us to keep our eyes on eternity and to live each day with purpose—sharing the hope of Heaven with others.

One day, that homesickness will be gone… because we’ll finally be home.

Missed Opportunity!

April 23, 2026

Have you ever walked away from a conversation and felt that quiet nudge in your heart—you could have said something about Jesus, but didn’t? You’re not alone. Many of us have missed those moments. Sometimes it’s fear, sometimes uncertainty, and sometimes we simply don’t recognize the opportunity until it’s gone.

But the Lord is gracious. He doesn’t give us just one chance—He gives us many. Each day brings new opportunities to shine His light. The key is to keep our hearts ready. When we stay close to Him, His Spirit gently prompts us, and He will even give us the words to say.

Don’t dwell on yesterday’s missed moment. Instead, ask the Lord today, “Help me be ready.” The next opportunity might be just around the corner—and what a joy it is to point someone to the hope we have in Jesus.

Waiting Isn’t Wasted!

April 22, 2026


Isaiah 40:31

Waiting is not easy. In fact, it may be one of the hardest things we are asked to do. We live in a world that moves quickly, where answers are expected right away—but God often works in seasons of waiting.

When we wait, it can feel like nothing is happening. Our prayers seem unanswered, and our strength begins to fade. But God’s Word reminds us that waiting on Him is never wasted time. It is in the waiting that He is quietly renewing us.

Waiting teaches us to trust. It draws us closer to the Lord, helping us lean not on our own understanding, but on His perfect plan. And in that place of trust, something beautiful happens—peace begins to settle in our hearts, and joy quietly returns.

God doesn’t just ask us to wait—He promises to renew our strength while we do. Like the eagle that soars high above the storm, He lifts us above our circumstances and gives us a new perspective.

So today, if waiting feels hard, remember this: God is working, even when you cannot see it. Trust Him in the waiting, and He will fill your heart with His peace and joy.

A Child’s Love!

April 21, 2026

Sometimes the simplest messages are the most powerful. This sweet drawing reminds us of what truly matters—love for Jesus and love for family. From the heart of a child comes a pure expression of faith and affection that speaks louder than words. May we all keep that same simple, sincere love in our hearts.

This note was written on the back of a decision card at an event with SOS Events. She and her older sister accepted Jesus as their Savior.

Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 14:19
